Yes sir.

When I am trying to upload cpnav_rpm.xml appear the problem Invalid File Specified .
What I should do?

How are you uploading it and where.

I understand my mistake .

I made it.

Thanks for your quick response

I think I answered your question then :up:

hey dude it work but not good enough. will u provide me that hack through which if i allow pm then it would go member otherwise not.
waiting for ur reply friends. i really need that

So far two people before me have had this question and I have spent the last 30 min reading through ever page of this hack and it still has not been answered :(

How do you get rid of that jibberish in the 'To:' field?????

I'm running vB 3.6.8 w/vbPortal

I'm not entirely sure that it is a "bug", as it doesn't hamper functionality, although it does make it more difficult to read.

good idea, but it would be better if we could edit the allowed usergroups, those who can use this feature on site (admin, sup mods and mods) through acp...iow...if we could just add the usergroupid's (5,6,7) in acp so that they can use this feature...that would be great.

Will wait with installing until then.

Ya I get what your saying but if they managed to make a fix for previous vB versions, you'd think they could make a fix for vB 3.6.8...

It would just be nice to be able to read the user name properly without having to scan thru all the gibberish lol

i followed the instruction carefully, but then it when i went to User under AdminCP, and clik on Read PMs, it said page not found.

any ideas ?

thx

Upload "read_pms.php" to your admincp folder.

The coder is unlikely to change the way it's setup and I agree that would be a pretty bad idea.

Is there any way to hide this from letting other members seeing the mods installed. Since anyone can go to www.xxxxx.com/admincp/read_pms.php and see its installed.

They can't read them without logging into the admincp first ;)

He's saying that some people don't want their members to know that the staff is reading their PMs, so he's looking for a way to hide it from people who know what to type in to see if a forum is using this.

^^, since by going to that URL, you know the staff have the mod installed.

My thoughts exactly, and why have it available to your other ADMINS if they can't use it anyway. That just stirs up the pot, SO, there is a way to hide it COMPLETELY in the ADMINCP.
To do so, open up the cpnav_rpm.xml and where it says: permissions="canadminusers", change that to permissions="canadminplugins".

Make sure that for your other ADMIN's permissions set to where they are NOT able to Administer Plugins.
Edit Administrator Permissions -> Can Administer Plugins -> NO

This will make even the link invisible. :D

is there anyway that you can disable usergroups from being able to delete their pms?

in my forum are 2 more administrators. isn't it possible that they can use it too?

They have to be Super Admins :)

ok but what is the difference between me and them? we have the same rights as i could see.

what do i have to do to make them super admins?

nice mod, is installed, thank you

please help me, how to give permission to other administrators to check pm

got it, thanks
by editing config.php and inserting user number to make him as super admin
regards

Great mod !

I am on Vb 3.6.8 Patch2 works like a charm~!

Very good! easy to use and Although I hate spying in the forum I help on it works wonders. thank you ^^

Truth be told there are plenty of forums out there where the SAdmins set it up and maintain it, but the Admins/Smods/Mods handle the normal day to day business.

SAdmins and Admins can be very different depending on how you have your hierarchy set up.

And SAdmins, in a structure like that may want the ability to scour PM's for security/anti-spam purposes and NOT necessarily for forum-related topic/community issues, which are handled by their admins.

Just some insight on why the usability appears by default to be limited to SAdmin only.



Installed and working without modifications on vBulletin 3.6.8


Thanks guys!

Very handy!!

VBulletin, I would suggest that you distance yourself from this mod. I think that it is a violation of the trust which users place in their forum administrators. I own a large website of about 170,000 users in the UK and if word got out that I had installed something like this (and word always gets out) I would have a mass revolution on my hands and can imagine that it could bring down the site.

Additionally we are presently being challenged under UK Data Protection laws to disclose to a certain individual any personal data we are holding on him. We don't hold personal data, but he thinks we do. In the list of disclosures, he has also demanded that we disclose the contents of private messages to him where they contain references to him. he is making an official complaint to the UK Information Commissioner.

I can tell you that if I had this mod installed, then I would be legally obliged to satisfy his request. The publicity would break us but also it could then lead to libel or other legal actions against our users. Data Protection laws are generally the same through out the European Union and therefore any other EU forum administrator who is considering this mod should reflect very carefully

Additional dramatic spin-offs could be to undermine the confidence of forum users throughout UK, Europe, the world.

If you want to build forums and other on-line communities then avoid this kind of modification completely. This is the kind of thing which gets approval in China or other highly regulatory jurisdictions.

Avoid and condemn at all costs

You do realize it's a free mod and completely voluntary? You do also realize that all the plugin does is give you a quicker way of looking at PMs that you can already look at via the database? This mod does nothing illegal and nobody that installs it is doing anything illegal. I've done a lot of research on these things, as have many people here, and there is no more liability involved with having a "database viewer" such as this and actually looking at the database - the content is still the same and this is no different than phpmyadmin.

Now I live in the US so things might be a little different but the laws here are pretty clear that it's usually about what you collect and how you collect it, not how you view it.

Does it still work with 3.7?

How to correct?

This has been asked before - I don't think there is a way to 'correct' it, as it isn't really a "bug". You can still see the user's name.

All the numbers mean something, youll figure it out hehe ;)

How to correct this problem?

and read the 2nd part starting at In \admin\read_pms.php

Seems to work ok for 3.7
